Aligning objects in DW with CSS
I can not seem to line up my graphics. I am new to CSS. I used one of the CSS templates from DW.
Here is my site: http://charitybiblechurch.com/index2.html
I made the background black (temporarily) so you could see where the objects are not touching.
If you look at index.htm on the same site, this is what it should look like. Index.htm is just a jpg inside an html (a temporary fix)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
MWG
Copy & paste this code into a new document. Note: I changed images to absolute URLs so I could see them. You can change them back.

Incidentally, using all images and no text isn't a good idea. Images can't be read by translators, screen readers and search engines.

Aligning object to stage with actionscript
I have a dynamic text box pulling info from an xml file.
After the text loads the box resizes with autoSize.
Any ideas on how i can get the box to align to the center of
the stage after that with actionscript??
I've looked around and can't seem to find a solid yes or no
anywhere.
Or if that's impossible, is there any way to vertically align
the text, which would negate the need for the resize and align.
Thanksnevermind....
worked a little more and got it to work with
mc_text.desc_txt._y=(Stage.height/2)-mc_text.desc_txt._height/2; -
Basic questions about word spacing and vertical alignment with CSS
I'm sill very new to Dreamweaver and web page designing. I've
read the entire manual SC3, one book, and starting another but I
have almost 0 practice.
Q1. so far I haven't been able to produce the effect of the
Word Spacing property. I tried all kinds of tests and I don't know
in what scenario this effect will show. Can someone give me a
simple example that shows the effect of this CSS property.
Q2. Vertical Alignment: this works well with images inserted
into text but I also expected this to work with text against other
text. For example I typed TEST© and assigned a different SCC
style to the © so that I can make it smaller and put it up
with the Vertical Alignment property. Surprisingly this propery
didn't produce any effect. How is htis suppose to be done?> This is some text. This is some text.
You forgot to wrap your text in <p> tags so the style
rule you created
doesn't apply.

ITSMobile - Problems when changing screen layout with CSS
Good afternoon,
I have a service ZLM00(SICF) with some public screens in the stile MOBILE4(Service of internet-se80), and I am trying change your layouts with CSS.
Steps taken:
1 u2013 I activated the repository MIMES (/default_host/sap/public/bc/its/mimes);
2 u2013 I copied the mobile.css from internet service standard ITSMOBILE for my service ZLM00(se80) with the name ZRF01.CSS;
3 u2013 I added the parameter ~ITSMOBILECSSINCLUDE = ZRF01 in my service ZLM00(SICF);
4 u2013 I published all screens and file ZRF1.CSS;
The problem:
When I test the service in the browser, I see in the source code that the file CSS was added u201C<link rel="stylesheet" href="/sap/public/bc/its/mimes/zlm00/99/ZRF01.css" type="text/css" />u201D
And the screens received some changes, however when I added a new line in file CSS for exemple
/* --- Basic Row -
.MobileRow {
white-space:pre;
vertical-align:middle;
background-color:#F3F3F3; "new lineu201D
Is not ok. Just the command standard works.
I am doing something wrong ? Is missing some step ?
My configurations:
- Version SAP ECC 6.0/SAP_APPL 604 SP8;
- Device mobile Symbol/motorola MC3190;
- Operating system Windows CE 6.0 with Internet Explorer 6.0;
SICF:
~THEME 99
~TRANSACTION LM01
~ITSMOBILE 1
~SOURCES ZLM00,ITSMOBILE
~POPUPS 1
~ITSMOBILECSSINCLUDE ZRF01
~ITSMOBILEELEMUNITS px
~DYNPRO_COMPRESSION 1
~ITSMOBILECUAINCLUDE ZCUAAREA
~ITSMOBILEELEMFACTOR 6
PS: I am trying change the layout of the screens only to remove blank spaces placed on the screen MOBILE4, the objects do not fit the device screen.
Best regards,
Gerson S. LivioNo.
If you want to see how the screen will look; look in the iPhone/ iOS 7 section of this site. -
Problem with CSS in page I have written [SOLVED]
There is a php page I have created at work which works fine with Firefox 3.6.
In one specific page Firefox 4 does not show correctly a table with CSS.
I tried to remove the css and just have the table with no styling but the problem persists.
the php file is this:

The problem is for the table in line 188.
it should look like this:

but instead it looks like this:

The same problem appears in IE.
Thank you,Please do not consider my previous post as I found out that it was a coding error, a forgotten ">"

Problem with css processing in Firefox8 on Win7.
Hi guys. I have a problem with css processing in Firefox8 on Win7. I need to make div which width and left css properties should be dynamically changed. Inside this div i have an swf object. When i change width and left css styles for my div, it jumps on the page, but other browsers render that well. What can you suggest to fix this problem? Thanks

Using templates with css in mx
Hi,
I'm sure I'm being stupid but it's driving me insane - I'm
weaning myself off table based layout and using css (for the first
time) in mx. I'm (finally) happy with my stylesheet and how it's
all looking but can't seem to use css with a template - when I save
the page as a template and preview the style sheet does not seem to
be attached.
Any help MUCH appreciated,
Katy> Good to know about mx as I was thinking about upgrading

Very definitely!
Good grief - your stylesheet is ... big. Usually so many
custom classes
mean that the stylesheet is WAY overengineered.....
I'll take a look though.

Thanks,Why are you asking a CSS question in a Java/JSP/JSTL forum? I would rather use a CSS forum for that. That HTML code is unnecessary too. Just post relevant code only, such as that CSS snippet.
Anyway, it may differ per web browser if this page rule will be picked up and it may also be a client side setting regarding printer settings. Nothing to do here. -
Indesign CS5 - how to align objects
Dear All,
I have a problem with Indesign that is present from CS2 trough CS3 & CS4 version. I thought that CS5 version finaly will solve this issue, but it seems to me that nothing changed.
When we have to align two objects lets say in Illustrator, we may always mark the reference object by second click (then it is locked). In different software the sequence of marking objects for aligment is important (even better solution in my opinion than in Illustartor). But in Indesign things work different. If we align objects to the top - the most top object is reference. When we align to the left the object most to left is the base for aligment.
I think that everyone learned to live with that by right placing the objects before aligment. Sometimes by centering (in past versions) we were forced to lock one of the objects before aligment. But now in CS5 locked object is not selectable. Besides that I never liked this long "work around" method.
My question is how to easy align vertical centres of the objects shown on the picture below when I want object A to stay on place and object B to be centered to A. I don't want to use smart guides.
PaulHello Peter,
thank you for fast feedback. I appreciate it.
I don't want to use smartguides because when there are more objects around it will be confusing to guess if you have right center or not.
Changing preferences for locked objects will not help much I guess. I like the way the locked objects are unselctable now and of course, as you mentioned, it is time consuming way to go.
The case is, that I would like Adobe to add this issue to the wish list. If this "double click" way is good for Illustrator, why it is not implemented in Indesign, forcing users to use some magical, time consuming, workarounds.
To be honest, I hopped that I miss the point in this case and someone will tell me some obvious shortcut to use by selecting the objects to get the things right.

Can't get rid of jagged edges of aligned objects
I have the annoying problem of jagged edges on aligned objects in Illustrator. This image demonstrates it well: http://i.imgur.com/AIyK6vK.png
You can see the white background shining through where objects align to each other. I thought this was only a display thing which wouldn't show up on print or export, but I get the same aweful results when exporting to png, pasting as a smart object in PS etc. How do I fix this?
Thanks!I've tried that aswell and it looks a bit better, but that isn't always (never?) a good solution.
Jacob, I've had no luck with the other thread, I was already using smart guides. This is a strange problem. I've not seen a lot about this anywhere else, don't you guys have this issue?
There is one better solution than a background layer. Select all objects and offset the path buy a very small number, maybe 0,01 mm but that is also more of a "hack" than a real solution.. -
Hi all,
I don't know if this is possible at all in Illustrator, but I want to align objects to text paths. Look at the following example to get an idea what I mean.
I start with something like a circular hierarchy, that I get as an output from another program. These are only lines and text. Now I want to add a flag behind the text. This flag should have the same orientation as the text path.
As this hierarchy is actually pretty big (this is only a snippet), I don't want to rotate all the flags manually. I tried to do it manually with the below example, but it still doesn't looks right...
Does anyone know, if there is a proper method to rotate the flags according to the orientation of the text paths in Illustrator? Any help is much appreciated!I don't know of more automated way than doing it manually. However you can make the rotation precise using the smart guides. Assuming the text is live (not outlines), this is how I would do it:
Make sure on the View menu, there is a checkmark in front of Smart Guides (Ctrl+U)
With a text object selected, pick the Rotate tool (R), find, and click the anchor point of the text object which will be at the left bottom side if the text is left aligned. The Smart Guides will show an "Anchor" label when the mouse cursor is over it.
Then, away from the Anchor point, click and drag the path of the text object to rotate it until aligned horizontally or vertically to the artboard which will be indicated by the Smart Guides displaying a straight horizontal or vertical line.
Hold Ctrl key down temporarily to switch to a selection tool and click with it the flag you want to rotate.
Release the Ctrl key to get back to the Rotate tool and press the Enter key on your keyboard to get the Rotate dialog.
Change the Angle value to positive if it is negative and negative if it is positive and press the OK button. On a pc you can do all of this step with three keyboard keys instead of the mouse if you press first the Home key, then Delete or Minus for changing the value to positive or negative, and finally press Enter to apply and close the dialog. The flag is now rotated with the same angle as the original orientation of the text.
Cut (Ctrl + X) the flag, and Undo (Ctrl + z) a few times until you go back to the original orientation of the text.
Paste (Ctrl + V) to get a copy of the rotated flag and position it in place. I can see that your skills with position the flags are much better than aligning the orientation and I don't think you need more complicated way of doing it. -
I've gotten myself really stuck with my css layout. I've
basically followed a couple of different tutorials to get where I
am. if you'll visit
http://eliteportraits.com/teetest/
you can see the effort so far. Where i'm stuck is the main content
block. I read different things on nesting div tags and can't figure
out how to do this with or without nested tags. I basically want a
white background for everything under the purple menu bar (I'd also
like that bar to extend to the edge of the top rounded white
graphic.). I ca't seem to make it work. what am I screwing
up/missing? is there a tutorial somewhere that can help? This is
the last thing I've got to figure out before I can finally move
forward. thanks so much for any help.

Then you need to put that line of text in its own container,
a <div> <p>
<h> whatever. Lets just use another <div> for
now. Insert the new <div>
in your pages code, right after your logo image (see below)
<div id="top">
<img src="tutorial_files/logo.jpg">
<div id="topRight">some menu links here, like shopping
cart and
such</div><!-- end topRight -->
</div><!-- end top -->
Then use some css to style/position the new <div>
#topRight {
float: right;
width: 350px;
text-align: right;
padding-top: 65px;
Back-tracking on what I said yesterday about
relative/absolute
positioning you could also make the 'top' <div> have a
position of
relative and then the 'topRight' <div> a position of
absolute to place
it in the position required.
#top {
position: relative;
#topRight {
position: absolute;
top: 85px;
right: 0;
width: 350px;
text-align: right;
This is one of the only times you should need to use relative
positioning on a container i.e., when you require an
absolutely
positioned element to sit within it. However if there is an
alternative
way of achieving the same results then personally I would
always use
that method in preference. Many beginners just use relative
positioning
all over the place without really understanding what they are
doing. Not
all, but in the majority of cases, it is not required.
Don't be afraid to experiment with css to see what results
can be
achieved using various combinations. Once you grasp the
basics then the
rest will fall into place quite quickly.
The key is to think boxes being positioned by using
margin/padding.
Where people go wrong is they tend to use too many boxes
which results
in too many elements to keep track of or just plain don't do
the maths
needed to make css work.
Always comment the end of a container </div><!-- end
header --> or you
can put the comment inside the closing tag <!-- end header
--></div>
This will make it easier to identify them when the page gets
more complex. -
I’m trying to figure out how to do this with css. Is it
possible?
I am using a .container to display a bottom image, .container
p to display right/left borders, & .container h2 to display top
image. I have a image floated w/in the <p> and I’d like
to have a list of links to the left of the image and <p>
element. (I’ve moved the <p> over using padding-left of
155px.
See the grey box
http://cellocelli.com/test2.htm
Is it possible to include a list of link within that area
left of the picture & text using css?sorry, i don't understand the question.
I took a look at your page code and was a bit disturbed with
all the IE conditional comments.
Although it's not relatited to your question, if you need so
many conditional comments you're doing
something wrong.
Then are you saying you placed an image in an h2 tag?
Why not style the image itself instead of an h2 tag (and not
place the image in a tag)?...

An Ingenious WebSite Builder:
http://sitelander.com -
I guess I am "old school" in that I have always used tables
to lay out my web pages. I decided I must learn to do it with CSS,
but I'm having a terrible time (and it shouldn't be so hard!). I
understand how to define the styles, add divs, etc. Here's what I'm
having trouble with:
How do I specify the normal page width to be 800 pixels,
however I want it to be relative to the browser (i.e., 100% of 800
pixels).
I understand the "float" tag, but if I have a right-hand
sidebar, I can't seem to get the text to the left (in a div called
"maincontent") to stop at the sidebar and wrap to the next line. I
tried specifying "Hidden" as my textbook suggests, but that has no
effect.
I can easily do all of this with tables, so do I really need
to abandon them?
Thanks!Hi Jane,
I'll try to answer all your questions, then a tip or two to
stop the main
content from dropping when the browser window size is
reduced.
- " I didn't realize that
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: auto;
is not the same as margin: 0px auto;
That's right.
margin: 0px auto; is actaully saying make the top margin 0,
the right margin
auto, the bottom margin 0 and the left margin auto.
It's just CSS shorthand.
For example, you might have:
margin-top: 10px;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
margin-left:15px;
You could just use margin: {10px 20px 5px 15px;}
Think of a clock to remember the directions.
12:00 top, 3:00 right, 6:00 bottom, 9:00 left.
If any of the values are the same, you can shorten it more.
For example, if top is 10, right is 20, bottom is 5 and left
is 20, it's
margin: {10px 20px 5px;}
If the 4th location (left) is missing a value, it makes it
the same as what
you have for right.
If top and bottom are 10px, and left and right are 20px,
it's:
margin {10px 20px;}
If the last two positions ( bottom and left vlaues ) are
missing, then it
will use the top value for the bottom, and the right value
for the left.
What auto right and left is doing is subtracting your content
width (the
container width) from the browser window width, and then
dividing the
remainder in 2 and applying each value to each side of the
container.
-"I found that they all took on the font of the maincontent
and I had to fix
them
individually. "
The only text that should be Time is the text in your main
content, where
you have that font defined. Everything else should be Arial
if you define
the body as such. I'll post a link at the end of this.
- "I put my bold sentence (Friendship, Fun, etc.) in h1, but
I had to change
the
color & size, so that added another style element. "
You don't need to give the h1 a class. You can actually just
style the h1
tag:
h1 {
margin: 10px 10px 2px;
font-size: larger;
color: #941238;
You can only use h1 once on a page.
You can use h2, h3, h4, etc, as many times as you would like,
and you can
style these just like the h1 style above.
- "I don't quite understand the .rightsidebar p { and
container p{
I am assigning the spacing to the <p> tag? What exactly
is that doing?"
That is saying, give all the <p> tags inside the
rightsidebar container the
follwing style.
So, in this example:
.rightsidebar p {
font-size: 18px;
margin: 2px 10px;
it's saying give all the <p> tags in this container a
size of 18 and margin
of 2px top and bottom, and 10px left and right.
It's a lot easier than giving a class to every <p> tag
- "I also don't quite understand the .clear {
Why not just choose clear:both on the next section <div
class="footer">"
You could, if the footer was in the container. It just needs
to be the final
element before the close of a container that contains the
float(s).
-Do you use the <div class="container"> technique all
the time?
Yes, most of the time. I usually put everything in it, and
use the
margin:0px auto; to center it.
That way, I don't have to try to get a number of different
elements to align
with the right and left sides by applying values to all of
them, which can
get tricky quickly.
-"If you'll indulge me one more question, I wonder if it's
possible to put a
graphic (say, of a putting green) underneath my
rightsidebar? I would want
the sidebar to lay on top of the putting green for an
interesting artistic
touch.
Yes, you can give that div a background image. You just need
to make the div
the same size as the image so you see it all (or vice-versa).
Now, to make that maincontent not drop like it does you can
remove the width
in the CSS. Now it will expand over to the left edge of the
rightsidebar.
You can control how close it gets by giving the right sidebar
a bigger left
margin. The point is, with no width assigned, the maincontent
will shrink
down to the longest word in it before it drops.
Here's what it looks like:

Let me know if you have any questions.
Take care,

Help with CSS modifications...
Hi!
Finally got this up online for temporary testing. Here are
the items I'd like to modify...not sure how to tweak the code/css.
1) for starters, the links on the left hand continously move
down when I hit return in order to add more content on the page.
I'd like for everything in the left hand panel to be completely
static, and so the links fit into that transparency block within
the background image. (they are in a table now, before I had them
outside of a table, but I had a difficulty controlling them) When
we correct these to move up, the contact phone #, etc, will move up
where they should be positioned as well.
2) if you click on one of the links, the remainder of the
links all receive the 'visited' state visual; it's reading as one
cohesive element. That should not be, as they are independent.
3) I'm trying to control the "join our mailing list" to move
up into the sign up box, and in turn, this will bring up my main
paragraph closer to the top of this cell.
As you will see, I'm attempting to control this with CSS as
much as I can.
Thank you for your help; I really appreciate it!

They are moving because a) they are in a table that is nested
in a table
cell, b) the table cell in which that table is nested has no
vertical
alignment specified, c) with no vertical alignment specified,
you get the
default, which is MIDDLE, and d) as the outer table grows in
height, the
middle point of the cell in which the navigation table is
nested also
migrates lower.
The solution is to assign the CSS style vertical-align:top to
td.navlinks.

This is because they are all linking to the same target.
Visit one, and all
become visited.

The " " is not a layout tool. Don't use it as if it
were -
<h1
class="signup"> SIGN
UP!</h1>
If you want that content spaced over from the left, use a
padding-left style
on the .signup class.
Do not use background-attachment on that <h1> -
.signup {
height: 50px;
width: 99px;
border: 1px solid #C5C19D;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-left: 420px;
margin-right: 20px;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #591F00;
font-size: 13px;
background-image: url(images/signup-gradient.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: 10px;
background-attachment: fixed;
Replace your markup for that <h1> and <td> with
this -
<td width="546" height="261" valign="top"><h1
class="signup"
style="padding-left:10px;width:89px;">SIGN UP!<br>
<span class="joinmailinglist"
style="margin-left:0;">Join our
<br>mailing list</span></h1>
Finally, validate your page, and fix the errors. You have
table heights,
for example....
